Looks great!!!

Nice. What a difference wheels make. TTII's are one of the best looking wheels there is. It's just hard to beat the classic look of these wheels on a truck. Of course I may be just a little bias.

[78' Silverado]

Bow's Down!!!!!!!

Dam Eric that chagned the look of that truck 100%! Those rims are killer!! All you gotta get now is gears!

Great job man!

[TIMSPEED]

F**KIN NICE DUDE!!!! NOW that truck is a PANTY DROPPING MACHINE!! My favorite shot is the 3rd one down. Damn man, now I may have to get rid of my 212's and get ME some TT2's!

Lookd good man those wheels make a hell of a differnce. Now all you need to do is get a rollpan for the rear to finish off the look.

[N2TRUX]

WOW!!! I told you it was going to be an amazing transformation. It's even better than I expexcted though....

[Greenlee]

Nice! Looks like a different truck.

hopefully, if my dad can talk to this guy, when i get back next weekend, my truck should have a nice factory rear bumper on it.

i think with the way i'm doing it, the bumper will look better than a rollpan

the new spindles will only drop it 1/2" which will take some of the wheel gap back away.

so far, i'm very very happy with them

If you need to build up a badass ride to get girls, then something is wrong. I hope you guys dont build vehicles to get girls, but for the style of em. You wont find too many good catches if you look for girls that just want a nice car. Gold-diggers.

[AirMale]

A bumper? WTF? In that case you might as well get some nerf step bars and a roll bar too.

most girls dont like my truck because its loud and it stinks and its a bumpy ride.

hell yah man. those would fit perfect with my quad light setup thats going on the roof

I absolutely love my TTII's but one thing you will need to remember. They are not made for a lazy person.

They require frequent cleaning and polishing to keep them looking nice. Brake dust is killer on these things, so keep them clean. I buy the polished wheel maintenance kit from American Racing. It's $14.95 plus shipping but this stuff works wonders for these wheels. I figure no one knows better what works on them than the makers. The kit comes with polish and a wax. The wax seals them to help keep out brake dust and other dirt.

Dont forget the dangling cow balls to hang below that bumper.

thanks for the heads up.

before they were mounted, i spent about an hour each night on a seperate wheel. used mothers mag and alum. polish. worked wonders on them.

why all the hate for bumpers?

[86 Red_Bowtie]

They just dont look right man . But it's your truck and if you want a bumper go for it.


Pic with a rollpan

[86 Red_Bowtie]

And one with a bumper

[86 Red_Bowtie]

Rember when your trying to get faster times at the track the bumper will slow you down because it ways more and is less aerodynamic . Other than that the truck looks BAD TO THE BONE.

Keep up the good work.

[7T7]

That did the trick!
It looks great!
You can now scratch "wheels " off your to do list.
I tell ya, bags are in your future.

[corn]

WOW! Its hard to believe thats the same truck & I thought it looked good before...corn

Whatever. Remember, our trucks are light in back...and the bumper will actually keep more weight over the rear wheels...something a roll pan will not do. More weight over the rear wheels = better traction. I personally like bumpers and don't really care for roll pans, but you won't find me talking down about others people trucks who have pans. Also, aerodynamics means squat when it comes to our trucks...they are all shaped like bricks!

Eric, those wheels look great...good job! Maybe you can sell your old wheels and tires and buy your gears or posi.
